If you are a highly technical machinist who wants to escape the rigid, micromanaged environments of standard shops, this premier 1st shift opportunity is built for you. Our client is a globally recognized manufacturing leader specializing in high-performance heavy industrial machinery and advanced work tools. They operate a fiercely supportive, family-oriented culture where precision engineering is celebrated, safety is paramount, and employee longevity is the norm.
This position offers an incredibly clean, modern manufacturing environment and unmatched corporate stability. Here, you are treated as a professional craftsman rather than a routine "button pusher." Because the company focuses on complex, high-strength industrial builds, you will regularly tackle engaging, low-volume setups that require true technical acumen. With excellent corporate benefits, strong incentives, and a firm commitment to training and promoting from within, this is a place where you can establish a long-term professional home.
What You Will Be Doing
- Performing complex setups and independent operations on an array of CNC and manual machines, focusing primarily on large-scale milling centers and multi-axis equipment
- Editing G&M code directly at the controller and optimizing active programs to safely manufacture high-precision components from high-strength steels and specialized alloys
- Interpreting complex technical drawings and geometric blueprints to determine exact tolerances, critical dimensions, and the optimal sequence of operations for custom heavy machinery builds
- Utilizing precision measuring instruments (bore gauges, micrometers, calipers) to verify 100% part conformance to tight-tolerance standards
- Collaborating closely with internal engineering and fabrication teams to troubleshoot programming variables, resolve tool-path issues, and optimize cycle-time efficiency
- Maintaining equipment integrity and workstation organization through routine preventative maintenance and strict adherence to 5S safety protocols
What We Are Looking For
- Educational Foundation: An official 2-year Technical Degree or Diploma in CNC Machining, Machine Tool Technology, or a closely related manufacturing field
- G&M Code Fluency: Complete technical mastery of G&M codes, manual data input (MDI), and practical shop math to edit and perfect programs on the fly
- Large-Scale Experience: Significant, verified experience setting up large milling centers and successfully executing close-tolerance work on massive or complex workpieces
- Multi-Axis Capability: Active familiarity with 5-axis machining configurations is a major plus, though not an absolute requirement (advanced internal training is available for multi-axis setups)
- Professional Reliability: A rock-solid, dependable work history that demonstrates organizational commitment and multi-year tenures at previous employers
